Hey there. So I was prescribed the pill to help my MC along since I wasn't cramping or spotting at all. I took it last Friday and long story short I ended up going to the ER because I was afraid of how much blood I was loosing. I didn't need a transfusion but was borderline anemic per my doctor. Well today I had a follow up ultrasound and it turns out that even after loosing what I thought was an insane amount of blood and passing lots of large clots the embryo/sack didn't pass. So now I'm waiting to see if it will pass naturally again. My doctor said that I could do the pill again to start the cramping and hopefully expel the sack, but she understands that I am a bit hesitant to try that again based on my first experience with the pill. She also said that if it didn't pass in the next 2 weeks they would have to do a D&C to clear it out.
What I'm curious about is, if anyone has experience with this, would the second time taking the pill be less traumatic? Less blood, clotting etc? I would hope so since there was SO MUCH the first time but I'm nervous to try it again. Do you think it would be better to just wait the 2 weeks and see if my body takes care of it on its own? My doctor gave me the two options and said it was up to me what I wanted to do, so just looking for some advice.
Thanks!
Re: Experience with MC Pill? Weather or not to take it twice?
I understand your concern, though. It's a terrible experience to have to go through it twice. I hope that your body takes over so you don't have to worry about more decisions and procedures.
Hugs to you.

@KirstenAlecia had a similar situation with taking the pill. I believe she ended up with a d&c even with two doses. Try looking up her old posts if you want to read her story. Not sure if she checks In here all that often.
I will be thinking if you and praying that this is all over for you soon.
